πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

probe syscall_any {}

πŸ’– VALUES πŸ’–

  • name β€” the name of the syscall. like, its government name πŸ’…
  • syscall_nr β€” the number of the syscall. its little ID number fr fr πŸ”’

🌸 CONTEXT 🌸

The process performing the syscall. yep, whoever's out here making the call is the main character here 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so, this probe is a little picky in the best way: it prefers kernel.tracepoint(β€œsys_enter”) when vmlinux.h BTF tracepoints are available 😌✨ and if they're not? no stress, it falls back to kernel.trace(β€œsys_enter”) (kernel 3.5+) πŸŽ€

it's giving "I'll take the fancy route if I can, otherwise I know a guy" and honestly? iconic 🌈
